Choice of how the trimmings are treated

Can work without disturbing anyone with the noise

This mower is quiet to operate, so you can use it in the early morning hours without disturbing anyone.

Cons

Con

Has a cord

The power cord is the primary shortcoming of this lawn mower. You have to always keep an eye on where the cable is and how much further can you go. Additionally, you'll have to think how to go around obstacles, so that you don’t get tangled.

Con

Struggles with thick grass

The 12 A motor is powerful enough for regular and maintained grass, but it can struggle if there hasn’t been any mowing done for an extended period.

Con

Hard on the power network

Since a lot of houses still have 15 amp circuit breakers, it may trip them out, especially if something else is being used on the same circuit.

Con

Poorly designed cord hook

The provided hook for the wiring doesn’t work well, so it is easy to unplug the extension cord by accident.

Con

The deck can rust

Since the deck is made from steel, it can start to rust if not properly taken care of.
